Thereafter, the said Marella Narayanamma i.e. the mother of the Petitioner/Plaintiff executed a registered Gift Deed on 18.06.2016 in favour of the Petitioner/Plaintiff.

While so, Respondent No.1 i.e. the proposed Defendant filed the present application seeking to come on record as the Defendant No.3 to the suit proceedings on the ground that the suit schedule property 3 originally belonged to one Adem Subbanna, who executed a Will dated 12.02.1957 in favour of his wife Adem Subbamma. After the death of Adem Subbanna, his wife Adem Subbamma became the absolute owner of the said site. The said Adem Subbamma executed a Will dated 11.09.1997 in favour of the Respondent No.1/Proposed Defendant. 4. On the basis of the said Will, the Respondent No.1/Proposed Defendant sought to come on record as the Defendant No.3 to the suit. It was also pleaded that the Respondent No.1/proposed Defendant filed a suit O.S.No.167 of 2012 on the file of the Additional Senior Civil Judge, Kadapa seeking for the relief of declaration of his right over the suit schedule property and for recovery of possession. The said suit was dismissed for default and applications were filed seeking for restoration of the suit. 5.

As a sequel, pending applications, if any, shall stand closed. __________________ NYAPATHY VIJAY, J Date: 12.02.2025 IS 5 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NYAPATHY VIJAY CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO.2469 of 2022 Date: 12.02.2025 IS
